Raffa and her family treated us to the best 3 days of our school italian tour. Cooking a variety of italian recipes which we are now all cooking at home. It was so lovely to be part of her family and home and experience the italian way of life. I will be definitely be back with my family. Raffa did a fantastic job organizing our rather large group of 25 with transport, tours etc. As a travel agent I can highly recommend La Volpe e Luva as the highlight of your italian journey.
